DC's subway stations require the doors to open on alternating sides of the train, which may be problematic for passengers on packed inauguration day trains. So, as a New Year's present to all inaugural attendees (and curious District residents), Obamathon Man presents a footnote to Part 2 of the Obamathon Guide: a list of platform directions for each metro station within walking distance of the inaugural proceedings. "Left" or "right" directions are relative to the direction the train travels; in other words, if you are facing the direction the train is traveling, stations marked "right" will have platforms on your right hand side.
